Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg clears up whether or not Manchester United should have had a second penalty in their draw with Bournemouth.
Bruno Fernandes fired Manchester United ahead at the Vitality Stadium from the penalty spot, and the Red Devils thought they earned a second spot kick when Amad Diallo went to ground in the 66th minute.
However, referee Stuart Attwell waved play on and Ryan Christie went up the other end and equalised for Bournemouth. VAR checked the incident but decided not to intervene and awarded the on-pitch decision of a goal.
Minutes later, Bournemouth were awarded a penalty of their own that was converted by Eli Junior Kroupi to leave United with a 2-2 draw.
Mark Clattenburg comments on Man Utd penalty decision
United in Focus have spoken exclusively with Mark Clattenburg on the decision to deny United a second penalty, leading directly to Bournemouth’s equaliser.
“Manchester United wanted a penalty when Amad Diallo went down from contact with a Bournemouth defender inside the penalty area,” Clattenburg said.
“The referee and VAR agreed that any contact was slight and not consistent with his fall. After this challenge, Bournemouth went up the other end and scored.
